Leadership Development Program at Nufarm

This case study outlines the leadership development program implemented by Nufarm in collaboration with Harvard Business Publishing. The program aimed to enhance the capabilities of the company's top 120 global leaders, equipping them with the necessary mindsets, skills, and behaviors to lead transformational change and support the company's growth strategy. The initiative involved a three-year sequence of virtual, cohort-based learning experiences designed to align with Nufarm's strategic direction. Participants engaged in discussions, case studies, and simulations, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Key success factors included executive sponsorship, practical application of learning, and the establishment of study groups that encouraged collaboration among leaders. The program's impact was significant, with participants reporting improvements in leadership skills and a commitment to applying new insights in their roles. The collective influence of the leaders amplified the program's effects throughout the organization, contributing to a cultural shift and enhanced communication across business units.
